[Rebirth + technology + AI + slow-burn growth + hard science]
Chen Yuan, a 35-year-old programmer, died at his desk from overwork.
When he opened his eyes again, he was back in his university dorm in the year 2000.
An AI called “Xiao Ai” had appeared in his mind. It could do anything and design anything, from code to chips to quantum computing. It was an all-round genius.
But there was a problem…
The lousy computers of 2000 couldn’t run its code.
The internet of 2000 couldn’t handle its solutions.
The hardware of 2000 couldn’t possibly build what it designed.
The super-engine was ready, but the fuel lines weren’t connected.
So he would build the road himself.
From earning his first fortune with internet cafe management software, to building server clusters, developing instant messaging, designing his own chips, and establishing a technology empire…
Every step was about unlocking the next level of Xiao Ai’s abilities.
With every new level unlocked, the world would tremble.
